  • he said this,
    when?

    in what context?

    Eddie needs to lay off the Obama cock.
    I see his lips getting red already.
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    Link please. I and probably a lot of people here, have heard or read just about every interview or comment publicly made by Ed and I don't remember exactly those words. LInk or it didn't happen.

  • God please say it ain't so. If I have to listen to ed talk about Obama on this next tour I will definitely stay home Listening to his rants last summer was enough.I respect his opinion but we all pay good hard earned money to listen to music not politics and ideology.

    No, you pay for what you know going into it already. Politics is part of the Pearl Jam live experience. If you don't agree with it you don't have to go. But don't bitch about it when you know damn well going into it that it is going to be part of the experience.

    what are you psychic ? No body knows if he's going to talk about politics or not.
    I have been to shows when he didn't talk about politics ,and Im not bitchin so calm down all Im saying is I would rather hear music then listen to his rants and Im sure there are other fans out there that would agree with me besides now that bush is gone and the MASSIAH is in power what's he got to be pissed about. :?

    How does someone go from supporting Nader to Obama? That is laughable.

    How is changing your opinions laughable?

    He said it in that Canadian podcast interview. Here's the link:

    It's an outtake at the end of the "Eddie Vedder Interview".

    Unbelievable. I guess as long as Ed agrees with the President he can be subservient to him.
    I don't care what your party affiliation is, putting that level of faith and trust in one person is idiotic at best and dangerous at worst.

    I am OK with a certain level of political babbling to come from Ed during a live show but the last couple years have gotten really ridiculous. In particular that rant (you can find it on YouTube) Ed gave in England about having a dream about Bush having sex was really disgusting and classless and also not at all funny. I'm assuming he'd had too much wine but still.

    We're getting an album from PJ this year, so the next one should be in about 2012... That one will be called "Riot Act II" after Ed is terribly dissappointed with Barry O.

    Now.. I'm kinda hoping that Ed goes into 20 minute praises of Obama at the upcoming gigs...
    ...
    Not because I'm a big fan of Obama... moreso because of the hours of hilarious entertainment we'll get, reading the reactions to it in this forum.

    Thank you for the link - I realized I'd heard it before after re-listening. I think just like anything else you have to put it perspective. I am guessing based on your post that you probably didn't vote for Obama, so we already start on 2 sides of an issue. For those of us that did, the amount of emotion on that day (the inauguration) was immense. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief to be done with Bush, and to see the country going into the hands of an educated, thoughtful, intelligent man. I got a sense from what Ed said, that maybe he had some of those feelings too. Inauguration day is the day this particular interview took place. I don't think I, you, Ed or most other people, hopefully, believe in unquestioning blind allegiance to ANYONE and maybe there was some emotion talking. Look at the perspective and see his words through that perspective.
